{"product_id":"mad-about-money","title":"Mad About Money","description":"Peter Jackson and Roy Harley are two struggling movie producers trying to raise money for a musical using an experimental new color process. Their prayers appear to be answered when they meet Carla de Huelva, a South American heiress who is in reality a simple showgirl pretending to be rich. The boys' dream project begins filming, but sooner or later Carla will have to tell them their movie's budget is non-existent...\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA musical with extravagant set pieces inspired by Busby Berkeley, \u003ci\u003eMad About Money\u003c\/i\u003e features an all-star cast. Lupe Velez was the first Latin-American actress to make it big in Hollywood. Her free-spirited personality was showcased in early hits like \u003ci\u003eHot Pepper\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), \u003ci\u003eStrictly Dynamite\u003c\/i\u003e (1934) and \u003ci\u003eHollywood Party\u003c\/i\u003e (1934), her career reaching its peak with the \u003ci\u003eMexican Spitfire\u003c\/i\u003e series in which she was paired with comedian Leon Errol (1939-1943). Tragically she took her own life in 1944 at the far too young age of 36. Ben Lyon memorably romanced Jean Harlow in Howard Hughes' World War I aviation epic \u003ci\u003eHell's Angels\u003c\/i\u003e (1930). He eventually married Bebe Daniels, and the two moved to Britain where they had a popular radio show. Character actor Wallace Ford is best known for his roles in B-movies including \u003ci\u003eThe Mysterious Mr. Wong\u003c\/i\u003e (1934), \u003ci\u003eThe Ape Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1943) and \u003ci\u003eShe Couldn't Say No\u003c\/i\u003e (1954). Also appearing is silent-era funnyman Harry Langdon in a rare supporting part in a talkie feature. \u003ci\u003eMad About Money\u003c\/i\u003e has two imaginative sequences, one involving a rocket ship and the other featuring ghosts, that are the work of New Zealand animator and experimental filmmaker Len Lye (1901-1980). Much like the film within a film that is the crux of the movie's storyline, \u003ci\u003eMad About Money\u003c\/i\u003e initially premiered utilizing an experimental color process, but the audience responded so badly that black and white prints were struck for its wide release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45802763387030,"sku":"089218835697","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218835697.jpg?v=1762202878","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/mad-about-money","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
